Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Celestron CPC 800 XLT Computerized Telescope w/Tube and Tripod
Customer Review: Opening the heavens
Summary: 5 Stars
I assembled the telescope it was pretty straight forward, i had to wait for 4 days to tested due to weather conditions, so the night number six i saw Sirius out of my window and I pointed the telescope there and notice that the telescope was OUT OF COLLIMATION. After some minutes I did the collimation of the secondary mirror and then I was ready for the Computer and GPS test.
I chose to align the Telescope using a single star aligment (Sirius) follow the instructions of my nexstar computer and in few seconds it was align .....so the computer said.
Any way to test the alignment I order the computer to go to M42, in just few seconds the telescope moved and the moment of truth was just a blink of an eye in front me.
I just look and focus the scope and it was the M42 right center of the field of view. Let me say that I was so surprise that I could not believed that in the first try the CPC 800 did its works close to perfection.
Still there are many things to test from the OPTICAL point of view but I do not think I will be disappointed.
Any way I recommend this telescope to anyone interested in doing some serious astronomical observations.
I also suggest people to go to YOUTUBE and check all the information in there on how to COLLIMATE the telescope, the instruction manual is not the best for that , rumor has it that one Video is better than a 1000 words.
